I have been diagnosed with vitamin d deficiency(6.5),how can i boost it to normal range?

General health and lifestyle
1

Calcium serum level was normal

2

I was prescribed vit D supplement. I would have thought your doctor would prescribe a high dose for a while if you are on 6.5. Takes a few months to build up. I sit outside each day too.

I had an appointment with the doctor 1 month ago.He prescribed me 60000 sachet after every 3 days along with calcium citrate.I started taking the doses but after taking calcium citrate after breakfast I suffered from headache.So I left taking it after 10 days but continued with sachet.Though my reflux problem solved in a few days but then I got joint pain in whole body.Knee pain was more prominent.After a month when i again visited doc I explained him the whole problem.He told me to stop that doses and prescribed me b12,b6,folic acid capsule in morning nd d3(1000iu)+magnesium after dinner.But after few days previous symptoms again came like constant burping.So i am confused what to do?

If you have vitamin D deficiency you need vitamin D. You are very low so the sun is probably not enough and you can boost it up a bit with diet such as oily fish and mushrooms. I take two tablets daily and have had no side effects at all. The other supplements will not help the vitamin D. Why are you taking calcium?

5

Doctor told that calcium is necessary for vitamin d to work as it absorbs it in the body.So high doses of D3 requires more calcium.

6

It is the other way round you need vitamin D to absorb calcium, so you can get a combined vitamin D and calcium supplement. You can take vitamin D without calcium. Tell your doctor to look it up!!

Now he has prescribed me a multivitamin having calcium aspartate,k2-7,magnesium,zinc,mecobalamin

What about the vitamin D? Do you know why he has given you a multi vitamin?
